"2"^^ . "5"^^ . "I use Aveda salons all the time and this one is not the best. Although I didn't hate my hair, I didn't love it. I don't mind paying a lot to get my hair done as long as it is worth it. \nFirst, they are over-priced, for example, they offer balayage and charge base price of $135 but they don't really do the \"real\" balayage; they use paper \"foils\"...Not the same thing. In contrast, Perry Monge Aveda in Phoenix, their balayage starts at $75 and they do the correct technique by hand-painting.\nSecond, they say you get to choose two of their Aveda rituals (hand massage, head/shoulder massage, make-up touch-up, etc..., but I've had Marie twice and she doesn't offer or do any of it. Basically, I didn't feel I was getting the true Aveda experience.\nLastly, if you ask the owner any questions regarding service, he gets flustered and defencsive. I asked why they charge a premium for a hair coloring technique they don't really do and he kept saying he doesn't know anything about hair, he just runs the place. \nNeedless to say I won't be back. And if you want a true Aveda Ritual experience don't go to Nu Image; there are plenty of other Aveda places where you won't pay the premium prices and will get more for your money."^^ . . . "0"^^ .
